Kabru and Mithrun's relationship throughout the story feels very dual sided to me and I shall elaborate... (not saying these moments are causation/correlation, just that they feel narratively balanced)
Out of all the elves, Mithrun is the only one who takes Kabru seriously and allows him to change their course → Kabru saves Mithrun from getting crushed by the giant mushroom by pulling him into the barrier
Kabru grabs Mithrun and allows them both to fall down the hole expecting they might die because he doesn't want elves to hide secrets of the dungeon anymore → Mithrun slaps Kabru (tbf it's to wake him up from losing life energy to the Nightmares)
Mithrun waits for Kabru to wake up to traverse the dungeon when Kabru expects retaliation → Kabru helps Mithrun rest after he uses the rest of his mana (probably from preventing the fall)
Mithrun keeps monsters at bay and tells Kabru all he ever wanted to know about the dungeon → Kabru makes them food
Kabru slams Mithrun against the wall and then knocks him out so he won't go after the demon in a weakened state → Mithrun slaps Kabru out of his spiral as he wishes to die from potentially making the wrong call about Laios, (which he seems grateful for until Mithrun starts beating him up lol)
Kabru helps Mithrun regain his ability to create desires and when he goes to stop him from overexerting himself again it leads to a conversation that gets Senshi to tell him something that can help him begin to move on emotionally → Mithrun dedicates himself to eradicating monsters that Kabru is so terrified of and traumatized by
